[Prior Art] A conventional method using a piezoelectric impedance element is described. 3-axis plus φ construction. Fig. 15 is an exploded perspective view showing the acceleration speed sensor in which the acceleration sensor element 200 is attached to the casing 2, and the cover 3 is fixed to the external terminal 7 of the protective casing element 200 with an adhesive. And the metal wire 4 of the casing 2 is protected and connected, and the external terminal 6 of the casing of the acceleration sensor element 200 is taken out. The sensor element 200 is referred to herein as an acceleration sensor. Fig. 16 is a view showing the accuracy of the acceleration sensor 200. In order to make the arrangement of the piezoelectric impedance elements easy to understand the description of the external terminals on the support frame. The support frame 11 in which the mass portion 13 is formed by the thick sensor portion of the single crystal substrate of the acceleration sensor, and the two pairs of mutually rigid wrists 21 formed by the connecting mass portion 13 and the thin plate portion of the single crystal substrate , 21', 22, 22', and the direction of the upper surface of the flexible wrist (X and Y) and the direction of the vertical flexible portion (the piezoelectric impedance elements 51 and 51', 52 | 6Γ, 62 of each axis 62*, 71 and 711, 72 and 72' constitute the degree sensor of the vehicle, aircraft, etc. 0 speed sensor. The adhesive is fixed 2. The acceleration sensor terminal 5, the output is from the protection book, The figure 5 will be accelerated. In Fig. 16, the wiring is omitted, and every 2' is set by the two orthogonal Zs of the beam that surrounds the frame 11 and surrounds it. 61 with. Further, the flexible -5-(2) 1277735 wrists 21, 21', 22, and 22' are formed in a beam shape by providing the through-holes 150 in the thin plate portion, and are easily deformed and have a high sensitivity. In the conventional acceleration sensor, the X-axis piezoelectric impedance elements 51 and 51' and the Z-axis piezoelectric impedance elements 71 and 71' are provided with the flexible wrist 21 and the support frame 11 respectively. The boundary and the boundary of the flexible wrist 11 and the mass portion 13 become uniform piezoelectric resistive elements in order to obtain the maximum sensor output. When the piezoelectric impedance element is arranged as shown in Fig. 16, the sensitivity of the X-axis and the z-axis (for the acceleration 1 G, the output of the driving voltage 1 V) is generally known as the relationship shown in the curve of Fig. 17. . When the thickness of the mass portion is changed, the sensitivity of the X-axis changes as a quadratic function. The sensitivity of the Z-axis changes as a function of one time. Therefore, the sensitivity of the X-axis and the Z-axis is different. In order to make this difference, the thickness of the mass portion and the sensitivity of the piezoelectric impedance element itself are changed, or the arrangement of the piezoelectric impedance element is changed. In order to make the difference between the X-axis and the Z-axis output, the thickness of the mass portion can be set such that the sensitivity of the X-axis and the Z-transmission becomes the same 800 μm. However, the thickness of the Si single crystal substrate used for semiconductors and the like is 62 5 μm and 52 5 μm. The Si single crystal substrate of about 800 μm is a special product, which is not only expensive but also has a problem of unstable delivery. It is not desirable to perform output adjustment based on the thickness of the mass portion. The piezoelectric impedance element is formed by implanting an impurity element such as boron on a sand substrate. By changing the concentration of the impurity element, although the sensitivity of the piezoelectric impedance itself can be changed, at least several impurity implantation operations are required to change the concentration of the impurity element. Therefore, not only does the manufacturing cost increase, but the -6-(3) 1277735 also leads to a reduction in equipment capacity, which is not an ideal method. In addition, in order to make the difference in the output of the X, Y, and Z axes inconspicuous, the output of the x-axis is reduced by changing the arrangement of the piezoelectric impedance element to match the output of the X and γ axes, which is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-279592. And Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-294781 is proposed. Sensitivity to the Χ and Υ axes of the Ζ 灵敏度 sensitivity can be sacrificed. In addition, in the conventional acceleration sensor, a structure in which the output of the x-axis is increased as compared with the output of the X-axis, and the difference in output between the axes becomes large. When the difference between the outputs of the axes is large, it is necessary to prepare amplifiers with different output amplification factors for each axis. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to improve the output of the X and Υ axes without lowering the output of the Ζ axis, so that the output difference of the Χ, γ, and ζ axes becomes smaller, and it is not necessary to prepare the output magnifications of the axes differently. Amplifiers provide a low-cost, high-sensitivity semiconductor-type accelerometer. The semiconductor type acceleration sensor of the present invention is characterized in that it has a central portion and has a mass portion on the upper portion and a specific distance from the mass portion, surrounds the mass portion, and has a support frame and a quality from the upper surface. The upper end of the portion extends to connect the upper end of the mass portion with the inner end of the upper surface of the support frame to support the plurality of flexible wrists of the mass portion of the inner surface of the frame; the plurality of flexible wrists are respectively: The end of the wrist and the support frame or the mass of the boundary of the flexible wrist-7- (4) 1277735, and has a wide portion of the cross-sectional area of the vertical flexible wrist length direction, and is located in the flexible wrist The flexible wrist portion sandwiched between the two wide ends of the two ends, and the cross-sectional area of the vertical flexible wrist in the longitudinal direction is formed by a narrower portion having a smaller sectional area; the flexible wrist has : There are two terminals on the upper part of the support frame or on the upper part of the mass, each of which has two terminals Φ extending in the longitudinal direction of the flexible wrist, and is defined in the piezoelectric impedance element in the upper region of the wide portion of the flexible wrist, and the flexible wrist Above, symmetrically placed on the flexible wrist a center line extending from above the wide portion of the flexible wrist to the upper portion of the narrow portion and over the other wide portions, and extending a plurality of metal wires extending in the longitudinal direction of the flexible wrist; At least one of the metal wires of the strip is connected to at least one of the terminals of the piezoelectric impedance element disposed on the flexible wrist, and the Φ piezoelectric impedance elements each have: a center line symmetrically disposed on the upper surface of the flexible wrist, And at least two piezoelectric sub-impedance elements extending in the longitudinal direction of the flexible wrist and two end portions of the at least two piezoelectric auxiliary impedance elements other than the two terminals connected to the piezoelectric impedance element are respectively in the piezoelectric impedance A high concentration diffusion layer of the at least two piezoelectric sub-impedance elements is connected in series between the two terminals of the element. In the above-mentioned semiconductor type acceleration sensor, the 'mass part and the support frame and the plurality of flexible wrists are integrally formed by 矽 crystal, and the piezoelectric auxiliary impedance element and the high concentration diffusion layer are formed to form the flexible wrist -8 - (5) 1277735 A part of the crystallization of the cerium is preferably formed by group III or group V elements of the periodic table. In the above semiconductor type acceleration sensor, at least one of the plurality of metal wirings is not connected to a dummy metal wiring of any one of the piezoelectric impedance elements. In the semiconductor type acceleration sensor, two of the plurality of flexible wrists extend in one of two orthogonal directions in the upper surface of the mass portion, and the other two of the plurality of flexible wrists are the other two. The plurality of flexible wrists extend in the other one of the two orthogonal directions in the upper portion of the mass portion, and the plurality of flexible wrists are substantially identical to any other flexible wrist in the arrangement of the plurality of metal wires. It is better. In the semiconductor type acceleration sensor of the present invention, each of the plurality of flexible wrists has a wide portion in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinally flexible wrist, so as to be 1.1 to 3.5 times the narrow portion. Preferably, the plurality of flexible wrists each have a wide portion which is preferably 1.5 to 2.5 times as large as the narrow portion in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinally flexible wrist. The semiconductor type acceleration sensor of the present invention is characterized in that it has a central portion and has a mass portion on the upper surface and a specific distance from the mass portion, surrounds the mass portion, and has a support frame and a quality from the upper surface. The upper end of the upper portion extends, and connects the upper end of the mass portion with the inner end of the upper surface of the support frame to support the four flexible 9- 1277735 of the inner mass of the frame.

剖面積更小之窄幅部,所以,藉由所被施加的加速度,質 • 量部可以容易動作,延伸於所被施加的加速度之方向之可 撓腕可大爲彎曲。因此,關於質量部上面內的各軸方向 (可撓腕的延伸方向)的加速度,檢測靈敏度可以變大。 例如’在施加有X軸方向加速度時,延伸於垂直其 之方向(Y軸方向)之可撓腕,雖妨礙往質量部往X軸方 向的移位,但是,於Y軸方向的可撓腕設置有窄幅部, 所以’其阻力變小。因此,認爲X軸方向的檢測靈敏度 也可以變大。 • X軸方向的可撓腕與γ軸方向的可撓腕,如分別設置 窄幅部時,Y軸方向的檢測靈敏度與X軸方向的檢測靈敏 度都變大。其結果爲,能使X軸方向的檢測靈敏度與γ 軸方向的檢測靈敏度和Z軸方向的檢測靈敏度成爲相同程 度。 可撓腕的寬幅部剖面積(b )對窄幅部剖面積(a )之 剖面積比(b/a)爲1·1至3.5之間時,X軸方向與γ軸方

偏置電壓小,其之溫度相關性也小。 如此,本發明之半導體型加速度感測器,可提高質量 部上面內之各方向(X軸方向與Y軸方向)的加速度檢測 靈敏度,成爲與垂直質量部上面之方向(Z軸方向)的加 速度檢測靈敏度相同位準。另外,使加速度檢測靈敏度比 以往更高,偏置電壓爲小、偏置電壓的溫度相關性也變 小。 【實施方式】 實施例1 參照第1圖至第5圖來說明本發明之半導體型加速度

other two extend in the orthogonal direction of the upper part of the mass section. The direction of the flexible wrist is: each of the two ends of the flexible wrist that connects the boundary between the flexible wrist and the support frame or the mass portion, and has a wide φ portion of the cross-sectional area of the longitudinal direction of the flexible wrist, And a narrow portion of the flexible wrist portion that is sandwiched between two wide portions at both ends of the flexible wrist, and the cross-sectional area of the vertical flexible wrist in the longitudinal direction is smaller than the wide sectional portion. Formed in the above four flexible wrists, two flexible wrists, each having: two terminals on the upper surface of the support frame or on the upper portion of the mass, each of which extends from the two ends to the length of the flexible wrist, and is defined to be flexible The piezoelectric impedance element Φ which measures the acceleration component in the longitudinal direction of the wrist in the upper region of the wrist width portion, and the piezoelectric impedance element which measures the acceleration component in the upper direction of the mass portion, and the symmetrical arrangement on the upper surface of the flexible wrist The center line of the wrist can be flexed from the width of one of the flexible wrists a plurality of metal wires extending over the narrow portion and over the other wide portions and extending over the length of the flexible wrist; at least one of the plurality of metal wires is connected thereto At least one of the four piezoelectric barrier elements on the wrist can be flexed, and the other two flexible wrists have the following: -10- (7) 1277735 has two on the support frame or on the upper part of the mass The terminal, each of which extends from the length of the flexible wrist, is defined on the upper surface of the flexible wrist portion, and the piezoelectric impedance element for measuring the acceleration component in the longitudinal direction of the wrist and the flexible wrist Symmetrically disposed on the center line of the flexible wrist, extending from the wide portion of one of the flexible wrists to the upper portion of the narrow portion and over the other wide portions, extending over the length of the flexible wrist a plurality of φ metal wires; at least one of the plurality of metal wires is connected to at least one of the piezoelectric impedance elements disposed on the flexible wrist, and the piezoelectric impedance elements each have: a symmetric configuration a center line on the upper surface of the wrist, and at least two piezoelectric sub-impedance elements extending in a longitudinal direction of the flexible wrist and an end portion of the at least two piezoelectric auxiliary impedance elements connected to the two terminals of the piezoelectric impedance element Two high-density diffusion layers of at least two piezoelectric sub-impedance elements are connected in series between two terminals of the piezoelectric impedance element; and the arrangement of the plurality of metal wires in each of the four flexible wrists It is essentially the same as any other flexible wrist. In the above-mentioned semiconductor type acceleration sensor, the mass portion and the support frame and the plurality of flexible wrists are integrally formed by ruthenium crystal, and the piezoelectric sub-impedance element and the high-concentration diffusion layer are formed to form a crystal of the flexible wrist. A part of the doping period III or V element is formed as a good 0 -11 - (8) 1277735 In the aforementioned semiconductor type acceleration sensor, the other two of the above four flexible wrists are respectively Among the metal wirings having a plurality of strips, two of them are not connected to the dummy metal wiring of any one of the terminals of the piezoelectric impedance element. In the above-described semiconductor type acceleration sensor, the flexible wrist portion of the supporting mass portion has a narrow portion which is smaller than the sectional area of the wide portion located at the end portion of the flexible wrist in the central portion thereof, so Due to the applied acceleration, the mass portion can be easily moved, and the flexible wrist extending in the direction of the applied acceleration can be greatly curved. Therefore, the detection sensitivity can be increased with respect to the acceleration of each axial direction (the direction in which the wrist can be extended) in the upper surface of the mass portion. For example, when the acceleration in the X-axis direction is applied, the flexible wrist that extends in the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction (Y-axis direction) hinders the displacement of the mass portion in the X-axis direction, but the flexible wrist in the Y-axis direction It is provided with a narrow section, so 'the resistance is small. Therefore, it is considered that the detection sensitivity in the X-axis direction can also be increased. • For the flexible wrist in the X-axis direction and the flexible wrist in the γ-axis direction, if the narrow width is set separately, the detection sensitivity in the Y-axis direction and the detection sensitivity in the X-axis direction become larger. As a result, the detection sensitivity in the X-axis direction can be made equal to the detection sensitivity in the γ-axis direction and the detection sensitivity in the Z-axis direction. Detection sensitivity of the X-axis direction and the γ-axis direction when the cross-sectional area (b) of the flexible wrist has a sectional area ratio (b/a) of a narrow section (a) of between 1.1 and 3.5 It is larger than the past, and the sensitivity ratio of the detection sensitivity in the X-axis direction and the x-axis direction to the detection sensitivity in the x-axis direction becomes -12-(10) 1277735. The piezoelectric impedance element is defined in a region of the upper portion of the wide portion of the flexible wrist from the boundary between the flexible wrist and the mass portion or the support frame, and the piezoelectric body is deformed by the acceleration wrist. The impedance element and the piezoelectric impedance element can exhibit excellent sensitivity. Further, the through hole for connecting the piezoelectric impedance element to the metal wiring is not above the flexible wrist, and the bias voltage of the piezoelectric impedance element is small, and the temperature dependency thereof is also small. As described above, the semiconductor-type acceleration sensor of the present invention can improve the acceleration detection sensitivity in each direction (the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction) in the upper surface of the mass portion, and becomes the acceleration in the direction (Z-axis direction) above the vertical mass portion. The detection sensitivity is at the same level. In addition, the acceleration detection sensitivity is higher than in the past, the bias voltage is small, and the temperature dependence of the bias voltage is also small.

The narrow portion 21 3 at the center of the flexible wrist is 23 0 μΐϋ long and its width is changed to '22 <μηι to 1 1 0 μηι. The length of the inclined portion between the wide portion 2 1 1 , 2 1 3 and the narrow portion 2 1 3 is set to be about 1 25 μm. The width of the narrow portion of the flexible wrist is changed from 22 μm to 1 ΙΟμηι, and the sectional area ratio (b/a) of the cross-sectional area (b) of the wide-width portion to the narrow-sectional area (a) is 1 to 5, respectively. A total of 20 accelerometers were evaluated for sensitivity and impact resistance.

After detecting the sensitivity ratio, the acceleration sensor was naturally dropped from the height of lm on a board of 100 mm thickness to detect impact resistance. When the height is dropped, an impact of about 1 500 to 2000 G is applied to the acceleration sensor. After the drop is made, the acceleration of the vibration is added to the vibration machine to check the presence or absence of the output.

The X-axis direction detected here is shown by a curve in FIG. 6 in relation to the sectional area ratio (b/a) of the wide-area sectional area (b) of the flexible wrist to the narrow-sectional sectional area (a). Sensitivity (Ex) sensitivity ratio (Ex/EZ) to sensitivity in the Z-axis direction (Ez). An acceleration sensor with a sectional area ratio (b/a) of 1 is used for a non-narrow section of a flexible wrist. This is a comparative example with a sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez) of 0.83, sensitivity in the Z-axis direction and X. The sensitivity in the axial direction is very large. The sectional area ratio (b/a) is about 2.1, and the sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez) is about 1, and the sectional area ratio of about 3.6 is 1.25. The sensitivity ratio is 1.25, and the X-axis direction sensitivity is significantly larger than the Z-axis direction sensitivity. When the cross-sectional area ratio is 1, the Z-axis direction sensitivity/X-axis direction sensitivity is opposite, which is not preferable. Therefore, it is known that the ideal sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez) can be obtained between the sectional area ratio (b/a) of 1.1 to 3.5. The ratio of the cross-sectional area (b/a) is between 1.5 and 2.5, which is a more desirable sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez).

(26) 1277735 with an area ratio of 3 · 5 or less, there is no damage. When the narrow portion is made thinner and the cross-sectional area ratio is 3.6 or more, it is known that the sensitivity ratio and the impact resistance are deteriorated. Therefore, when the sectional area ratio (b/a) is less than 3.5, the impact resistance is also satisfactory.

It is fixed on the bottom plate inside the protective case, so that the gap between the mass part and the bottom plate of the protective case becomes 10 μm. In addition, the gap between the protective plate on the upper part of the protective case and the upper surface of the mass portion is set to 1 〇μπι. Detects the X, Υ, and Ζ axis outputs of the vibration sensor with the acceleration sensor plus 20G acceleration, and detects the X-axis direction sensitivity (Ex) versus the 方向 axis direction sensitivity (Ez) for each acceleration sensor. The sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez) is used to find the average of the sensitivity ratios. In relation to the narrow minister, the graph _-(27) 1277735 sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez) is represented by a curve in Fig. 7. From this curve, it can be understood that even if the narrow portion length is changed from 200 μm to 400 μm, there is no large influence on the sensitivity. Embodiment 3 The semiconductor type acceleration sensor of Embodiment 3 is changed by the shape of the flexible wrist of Embodiment 1. The flexible wrist of the semiconductor type acceleration sensor of the third embodiment is the same as the width of the wide portion and the narrow portion 213' of the wide portions φ 2ir and 212f as shown in a perspective view in Fig. 8, although ΙΙΟμπι is wide, however, the narrow portion 21 3' is thinner than the wide portions 21 1 ', 212'. The wide portion is set to a thickness of 8 μχη, and the thickness of the narrow portion is changed from 1·74 μm to 8 μτη°, and the cross-sectional area ratio (b) of the wide-width section (a) to the narrow-width section (a) is separately produced (b/ a) A total of 20 accelerometers from 1 to 4.6 are evaluated for sensitivity and impact resistance. Insert the acceleration sensor into the protective case as shown in Figure 15, and fix the bottom surface of the support frame to the bottom plate in the protective case with the adhesive, so that the gap between the mass part and the bottom plate of the protection case becomes 1 0 μηι. In addition, the gap between the protective plate on the upper part of the protective case and the upper part of the mass portion is set to 1 〇 μπι. Detects the output of the X, Υ, and Ζ axes when the vibration sensor is installed with the acceleration sensor plus 20G acceleration. The X-axis direction sensitivity (Ex) is detected for the x-axis direction sensitivity (Ez) for each acceleration sensor. The sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez) is used to find the average of the sensitivity ratios. The X-axis direction detected here is shown by a curve in FIG. 9 in relation to the sectional area ratio (b/a) of the cross-sectional area (b) of the wide section of the flexible wrist to the cross-sectional area (a) of the narrow section. Sensitivity (Ex) Sensitivity to Z-axis sensitivity (Ez) -31 - (28) 1277735 degrees ratio (Ex/Ez). From this curve, it can be understood that when the sectional area ratio (b/a) is more than 3.6, the sensitivity ratio exceeds 1.25, so that the sectional area ratio (b/a) is between 1.1 and 3.5, and the desired sensitivity can be obtained. The ratio (Ex/Ez) is between 1.5 and 2.5 in the sectional area ratio (b/a), which is a more desirable sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez). From the curve of Fig. 6 and the curve of Fig. 9, it is understood that in the present invention, in order to make the sectional area of the narrow portion of the flexible wrist smaller than the sectional area of the wide portion, the width can be made smaller or thicker. One of the ways to get smaller. As for the results of the impact resistance test, the acceleration sensor that has no output after the impact is added, of which 2 out of 20 are in the cross-sectional area ratio of 4.2, and the cross-sectional area ratio is 4 · 5 There are six in the middle, but among those with a sectional area ratio of 3.5 or less, there is no damage. When the narrow portion is made thinner, and the cross-sectional area ratio is 3.6 or more, it is known that the sensitivity ratio and the impact resistance are deteriorated. [Embodiment 4] The semiconductor type acceleration sensor of the fourth embodiment is different from the shape of the flexible wrist by the third embodiment. The flexible wrist of the semiconductor type acceleration sensor of Embodiment 4 is as shown in a perspective view in the first drawing, and the width and thickness of the narrow width portion 2 1 3 " are larger than the width portion 2 1 1 ” , 2 1 2 ” The one is small. In the acceleration sensor of the fourth embodiment, an acceleration sensor for changing the sectional area of the wide portion (b) to the sectional area of the narrow portion (the sectional area ratio (b/a) of the 〇 is 1 to 4.7, respectively. Evaluation of sensitivity and impact resistance. Place the acceleration sensor in the protective case as shown in Fig. 15. Attach the bottom surface of the support frame to the protective case with -32- (29) 1277735. On the inner bottom plate, the gap between the mass portion and the bottom plate of the protective case is 1 Ομπι. The gap between the protective plate on the upper part of the protective case and the upper surface of the mass portion is set to 10 μm. The X, Υ, and Ζ axis outputs of the detector plus 20G acceleration are used to detect the sensitivity ratio of the X-axis direction sensitivity (Ex) to the Z-axis direction sensitivity (Ez) for each acceleration sensor (Ex/Ez The average of the sensitivity ratio is obtained. The relationship between the cross-sectional area ratio (b) of the wide-section cross-sectional area (b) of the flexible wrist and the cross-sectional area (a) of the narrow-width section is shown in Fig. 11 The curve shows the sensitivity of the X-axis direction sensitivity (Ex) detected here to the Z-axis sensitivity (Ez) Ratio (Ex/Ez). From this curve, it can be understood that when the sectional area ratio (b/a) is more than 3.6, the sensitivity ratio exceeds 1.25. Therefore, the sectional area ratio (b/a) is between 1.1 and 3.5. The ideal sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez) can be obtained, and the ratio of the cross-sectional area (b/a) is between 1.5 and 2.5, which is a more desirable sensitivity ratio (Ex/Ez). In addition, there is no acceleration sensor after the impact. Among the 4.3 area-to-area ratios, 3 out of 20, and the cross-sectional area ratio of 4.7 is 5 out of 20, but the area ratio is In the case of 5.3 or less, the thickness is not broken. When the cross-sectional area ratio is 3.6 or more, it is known that the sensitivity ratio and the impact resistance are deteriorated. Example 5 Prepared in Example 1. In the semiconductor type acceleration sensor used in -33- (30) 1277735, the sectional area ratio (b) of the flexible portion of the wide section (b) to the narrow section (a) is about 2 · 1 in total, and 1 of the previous accelerometers shown in Figure 16, to detect their sensitivity and bias voltage and bias The temperature characteristic of the pressure. In the following test, the acceleration sensor is mounted on the protective case shown in Fig. 15. The acceleration sensor is mounted on the vibrator, and a voltage of 5 V (Vin) is applied to In the state of the full-bridge circuit, the acceleration of 20G is added to detect the φ output of the X, Y, and Z axes, and the sensitivity per 1G is obtained. The sensitivity is expressed by the output voltage per 1G (h mV). The acceleration sensor is tilted in a state where a full-bridge circuit is applied with a voltage of 5 V (Vin), and is detected using a gravity acceleration of 1 G due to the tilt. The temperature characteristic of the bias voltage is such that when the driving voltage of 5 V is applied, the acceleration sensor is tilted and held, and placed in a thermostat, and the temperature is changed from -40 ° C to 95 ° C to be detected. The temperature characteristic of the bias voltage is expressed by the acceleration conversion error (Y %). The difference between the output voltage (h mV) per 1 G at the reference temperature and the bias voltage (j mV) at φ at temperature T ° C and the bias voltage (k mV ) at 25 ° C was obtained. That is Υ = ϋ-1〇/1ι (%). For example, in an acceleration sensor with an output voltage (h) of 3.6 mV per 1 G, the bias voltage (k) at 25 °C is 2 mV, and the bias voltage (j) at 80 °C is 3 mV. Then, it becomes Υ = (3-2)/3·6 = 28%. This 28% means that the temperature difference between 80 ° C and 25 ° C will produce a detection error of 0.28 G. The number of acceleration sensors for detecting the temperature characteristics of the bias voltage is 30 each. Figure 12 shows the sensitivity in the X-axis direction (output voltage per 1G (h mV)). The sensitivity distributions of the X, Y, and Z axes are the same, so note the sensitivity of the X-axis direction of -34- (31) 1277735. The white stick in the figure is the product of the present invention, and the black stick is the result of the previous product. The sensitivity of the conventional acceleration sensor has an average 値 of 3.6 mV, and the sensitivity of the product of the present invention has an average 値 of 4.4 mV, and a sensitivity of about 1.22 times is obtained. In the present invention, the piezoelectric impedance element R is made shorter, and the stress placed on the flexible wrist is concentrated, so that the stress applied to the piezoelectric impedance element is larger than that of the conventional product. Further, in the present invention, the distribution width of the sensitivity of the acceleration sensor becomes small. The distribution width of the sensitivity is reduced, and it is considered that the connection portion of the semiconductor-type acceleration sensor that is connected by the metal wiring through the through hole of the insulating layer is made to be invisible from the flexible wrist by the connection portion If it does not exist, it is considered that the deviation of the output voltage due to the variation in the shape and size of the through hole, the thickness of the metal wiring, or the like can be excluded.第 ... The 1 3 Α diagram shows the distribution of the bias voltage of the present invention, and the 1 3 Β diagram shows the distribution of the bias voltage of the conventional product. The bias voltage of the acceleration sensor of the present invention is distributed in the range of -4.2 mV to 4.6 mV, but the conventional product has a distribution range of about 2 times from -9.7 mV to 9.5 mV. By excluding a connecting portion in which a material having a thermal expansion coefficient different from a stress is combined in a complicated shape from the flexible wrist, the connecting portion does not hinder the deformation of the flexible wrist, and the bias voltage can be made small. Fig. 14 shows the temperature characteristics of the bias voltage by the acceleration conversion error (%). Fig. 14A is a product of the present invention, and Fig. 14B is a result of a conventional product. Each of the data of the 8 samples is described. Based on the bias voltage of 25 t:, the acceleration conversion error (%) is used to indicate the bias voltage at each temperature when the temperature of the acceleration sensor is changed from -40 °C to 95 t. In the first shot of the 14A, the acceleration sensor of the 35-(32) 1277735 is compared with the conventional product of the 1st 4B, and the amount of the acceleration conversion error is less than half. Further, in the conventional product, the acceleration conversion error is not linearly changed. However, in the present invention, it is possible to linearize by approximating the degree of the primary function. It can be functionalized once and can be easily corrected by simply correcting the circuit. Reducing the amount of change in the acceleration conversion error to the temperature change can be linearized to a degree that approximates the change by a linear function, and is considered to be a result of making the connection portion invisible from the flexible wrist.
